4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful ballads and pop hits, January 30, 2005
By 
This Lp,released in 1984 as a follow-up to TOO LOW FOR ZERO ,consolidated Taupin's return to his songwriting alliance with Elton John.This was best illustrated in love songs such as IN NEON ,BURNING BUILDINGS and the title track.The main hit single,SAD SONGS(SAY SO MUCH) and the second one WHO WEARS THESE SHOES? proved Elton was still #1 in the pop music world.Some tracks such as RESTLESS and SLOW DOWN also made an appearance on rock charts whilst PASSENGERS made a dent on European territories.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solid Elton from the mid-80s, January 23, 2002
By 
Quinn Miller "millerq72" (Columbus, OH United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Breaking Hearts is possibly my favorite Elton album from the 80s, at least it stands up well alongside Jump Up! and Too Low for Zero as far as quality of product. That said, it doesn't compete with his finest works of the 70s. We all got used to the fact that Elton wasn't coming up with his old magic on a consistent basis by this time. Rather, the tunes were solid and smooth, with catchy beats, nice choruses and sometimes interesting lyrics from Taupin. The songs that demonstrate these qualities best are Who Wears These Shoes?, the title track, In Neon (yes, it was released as a single, EMc, and reached #38 in the states) and Burning Buildings. The last one mentioned, happens to be my favorite ballad of his from the 80s, love that acoustic guitar solo by Johnstone at the mid-break! A thing of beauty for sure! Overall, a pleasant enough of an experience, but one gets the idea Elton could have tried a little harder. An accusation that he would admit to be true further down the road.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Underrated 1980's Elton John album, April 14, 2001
"Breaking Hearts" is a far cry from Elton John's best work in the 1970's, or his recent resurgence in the late 1980's into the 1990's. Yet there are some great tracks on this album, which was the last one featuring his original band (Bassist Dee Murray died in 1987.). Perhaps the finest song is "In Neon", but I also enjoyed "Slow Down Georgie", and of course, "Sad Songs (Say So Much)". Not to be missed either is the opening track, "Restless"- which could be a decent rock and roll tune if it was played at a faster tempo - nor the whimsical "Passengers".
